   Lecture Slides
bullet

Purpose: To allow better concentration in lecture by reducing note-taking pressure and to provide a study-aid before and after lecture.

bullet

Disclaimers: (a) I may not follow these slides exactly in class. (b) Students are responsible for what I say in class. (c) Reading these slides is not a substitute for attending lecture.

bullet

Almost all slides used during the course will be available via the following links. I may also skip several slides during the lecture (?00 slides would be too much!). They are included in the course material for completeness and to provide a good reference for your future professional software engineering projects.
